An absolutely crucial part of students' preparation for their IGCSE-Resits is that they practise past papers at home or during study periods.

Without doing this independent work regularly, students WILL NOT be able to pass the exams - and as such may not be entered for them.

At least ONE paper (2 hours) should be completed EVERY week.

Students completing IGCSE resit exams will be entered for the Edexcel paper on the Foundation tier.

This is because Edexcel have a January exam which students can be entered for if they are believed to be ready (at the teacher's discretion).

The papers are considered by some to also be more accessible to students - this was found by last year's resit students to be the case.

The grading is on a scale of 1-5. 

Where a score of '4' is considered a "Pass" equivalent to a C, and a score of '5' is considered a "Good Pass" equivalent to a C/B.

Note: Different universities may have different requirements about accepting a 4 or 5 - check with your university if unsure.
